I reckon I'd pee myself too if I got picked unwillingly up by what in reality equates to a giant. Scary Rider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think though when they are in harms way, like on a major road etc, its better to have a scrambled GPS than a scrambled insides 🙂 Some info from the interwebs: Does the same apply to tortoises ?

It’s all held up remarkably well because they’d just completed drainage upgrades - the only section damaged badly is the tarred section near the university where a large section washed away Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know the area well you could go in at the dam and around the varsity and pop out at the gate along 7 passes - you could also just get off your bike and portage that section where the road collapsed although I can’t confirm this because I haven’t personally investigated that section since the flood damage and we’ve had even more rain Rapunzel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
